In his first project after military service, the actor said to look like Super Junior’s Siwon and Olaf from Frozen, plays smoothie Lee Jung-hwan – reminding the world why they fell for the happy-go-lucky actor in the first place

Dashing South Korean actor Go Kyung-pyo is making his dramatic post-military service comeback in Private Lives, playing a smart con artist who belongs to the one per cent, the elite. Two episodes in, and we’ve fallen for him as hard as the character Cha Joo-eun, played by former Girls Generation singer Seohyun, has.

As the JTBC series picks up international steam on Netflix, here are five reasons you should fall in love with the dreamy, 30-year-old star, too.

According to Koreaboo, after successfully auditioning for Reply 1988 in 2015, Go gained weight while waiting for the production to start – however he was able to quickly lose it all, shedding eight just in time for filming and seven kilograms more throughout the series!

Following his 2016 drama, Don’t Dare to Dream, he again was interviewed about his dramatic weight loss. He revealed that he didn’t change his diet nor give up carbs. Instead, he quit drinking and late night snacks, and exercised, walking three to four kilometres a day.
